Ale'X Hotel Cordoba

... some refuge in cheap wine and the fact the next hostel (which I called this morning from the bus station) is owned by a lovely English man who has a pool and a love of wine.... what I haven't told Rob is there is no room for us until Friday evening and we have to sleep in a hammock tomorrow! there is a safe place for our luggage, assuming it hasn't been stolen already from the bus station : )

... something in Spanish about her daughter. We finally got on a remis with 2 minutes to spare before our bus departed - we arrived at the bus station late and our bus wasn't there. Unable to find a board saying whether or not the bus had actually left we ran to the bus company's officel, only to discover that the bus was running half an hour late, score!! As Jemma babbled some stuff about Karma, we made our way to the bus, phew! <br>Next comes the Andean Northwest of Argentina!<br><br>

... Sm*rt St*dium in Febru*ry especi*lly for *n occ*sion such *s this! I popped b*ck to the hostel, donned the mettelers-uniform *nd he*ded b*ck to promptly buy myself the che*pest beer in the b*r which c*me in * m*ssive litre bottle for 1100 pesos. The *tmos w*s pretty *live, especi*lly when * met*l cl*ssic c*me on the video juke box, *nd no-more so th*n when * M*iden tune c*me on (which w*s regul*rly) *nd the b*r erupted in * broken English sing *long which sme ...

... en bouten op basis van de gekozen constructie. Inderdaad, we gingen eerste de schroeven kopen. Daarna naar weer een nieuwe houtwinkel, waar onze Carlos eindelijk omgeluld werd door de verkoper en waar wij naar veluid bielzen gekocht hebben waar je net zo goed een treinrails van kon maken. Maar dat is logisch, want het moet wel een stevige constructie zijn, het gaat om honden/katten en kinderen van vijf jaar uit elkaar te houden, daar kun je geen risico mee nemen ...

Depart mal organise de Mendoza, je ne trouve donc pas d'hote a Cordoba. Je ne resterai d'ailleurs qu'une journee dans la deuxieme ville du pays, apres avoir marche 10h d'afilee et vu tout ce qu'il y avait d'interessant, je ne reste pas avec une tres bonne opinion. C'est tres betonne, il fait vraiment chaud, mais surtout je rencontre 3 comperes trop sympas le soir meme a l'hotel ...

... to the club the hostel recommended. We probably wouldn´t have gone if we´d realised how far away it was. We took a long taxi ride there and it was in some sort of industrial park. It slightly resembled a warehouse when we entered to but soon started to fill up and wasn´t so bad. One of the bars was about 1.5 m in depth and i had to practically crawl up onto it and shout my order ...

... sister it was great to be reunited with Alex and Kerri the London couple I had got on well with before and Sara who had taken a 4 day bus journey from Lima to get there! So I spent those days getting myself sorted, planning my next destination and searching high and low for a camera. A camera is possibly one of the only things that is not cheaper in Argentina, to summarise my luck but a decent valued one was eventually found. The first night was an amusing one there was a ...

... a bit of trotting (different kind of trots than what i have been used to previously in the trip) and galoping but i couldnt spend more than 2 hours on a horse, its a bit painful in certain areas. Then that takes me up to now sitting in an internet cafe on the internet which costs about 20p and hour. You can tell im killing time waithing for a bus as ive actually just written an essay of ****, it should be usefull when i get back to ...

... Saying this, the mighty Jordan would not allow such a travesty)! Despite all this the food is excellent, what it lacks in imagination is easily compensated by composition. One drawback however is the subsequent cheesy dream. Not one night has gone by so far when something extremely twisted hasn´t gone down in the early hours. The other night for example, the 2 biggest gimps on the planet - Ben Afflick and the dude from Dawson´s Creek - invaded my nocturnal ...

... do it justice. But the art was still amazing and these indigenous people were living this way until the Spanish arrived in the 1500s!!! The group of people that painting the rock art here were called the Comechingones and they lived there from 1000AD. The paintings are in red, black and white and show animals, birds, the soul and the poeple battling against other tribes or perhaps the Spanish. That night we ventured off agin on a night bus to mendoza.
